New Concept Mining powered by Epiroc manufactures and supplies a complete range of accessories to complement its product range.
Hydrabolt, X‑Pandabolt and Jackpot pumps
High Pressure Airpump designed to install mine support where compressed air is available.
These pumps are connected to a water supply hose and to a compressed air supply hose. An internal diaphragm is driven by the compressed air to intensify the water pressure on the downstream side of the pump to pressures of up to 30 MPa (4350 psi), dependant on the supply pressure of the compressed air. The pump is controlled by operating the trigger on the Safety Pistol connected to the delivery hose. By squeezing the trigger, the pump is activated and the pressurised water is delivered to the nozzle. When the trigger is released the pump is shut off and the pressure to the nozzle is released.
The High Pressure Airpump includes a Combi‑Nozzle, which automatically adjusts the delivery pressure of the pump so that the same unit can be used to install Hydrabolts, X‑Pandabolts and Jackpots.
A Handpump is available for the installation of Jackpots without the use of compressed air.
| High Pressure Airpump | Low Pressure Airpump | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard output pressure (MPa) | Jackpot & Jackpack | 11 - 13 | 11 - 13 |
| Hydrabolt & X-Pandabolt | 25 - 27 | ||
| Typical static load capacity (kN) | Water | 1" BSP female | 1" BSP female |
| Compressed air | 1" BSP female | 1" BSP female |
Combi Nozzle
The Combi‑Nozzle is used when installing both Jackpots and Hydrabolts using the same high pressure pump. The nozzle automatically detects whether it is connected to a Jackpot or a Hydrabolt. If it is connected to a Jackpot then a port is opened to the 13 MPa PRV on the nozzle. When the pressure inside the Jackpot reaches 13 MPa then the PRV on the Combi‑Nozzle relieves water until the trigger on the pistol is released. If the nozzle is connected to a Hydrabolt the 13 MPa PRV is shut off and when the Hydrabolt reaches 25 MPa then the 25 MPa PRV on the Safety Pistol relieves water until the trigger is released.
Hose Protector
The Hose Protector is designed to protect hoses where they enter the Airpump and High Pressure Airpump increasing the life of hoses and improving productivity.
Other Accessories
Various other accessories are available, such as:
- Pressure gauges for monitoring the delivery pressure of Pumps, as well as
- repair kits for the maintenance of Pumps
- Safety Pistols
- Nozzles
